Rock News - Special Addition

Our Special Guest
Mr. Lail visited our class Tuesday, October 11.
Mr. Lail is a retired Earth Science teacher. 
He has an amazing collection of rocks and he showed a few of them to us.

 We opened our book A Rock is Lively to see if any of the rocks he brought were in our book. 
We found four matches: Aragonite, Pyrite, Quartz, and Calcite.



The shape of the Barite is so interesting.


As we passed them around our circle, we described them and compared how they were different.
Thank you, Mr. Lail!

 Not great pictures, due to the rain, but I did want to share.
It's an amazing site to see how rocks are cut out of the earth.
